According to Japarov, one of the main problems today is that government institutions operate in a fragmented manner and often lack clear personal accountability for results. To address this, new mechanisms of coordination and accountability between central and local authorities are being introduced.

One of the key changes will be the expanded role of the president’s plenipotentiary representatives in the regions, as well as district heads (akims) and mayors.

Under the new system, they will participate in the appointment and dismissal process of heads of territorial divisions of state agencies, including certain law enforcement bodies. This will give regional leadership greater influence over personnel policy at the local level.

Territorial branches of ministries and state agencies will also be required to report not only to their central leadership but also to the authorities of their respective regions. According to the president, this is expected to improve oversight of policy implementation and accelerate responses to citizens’ concerns.

Sadyr Japarov also announced a faster appointment procedure for several political positions. Under the new rules, heads of districts, their deputies, mayors, and heads of aiyl okmotu may be appointed to equivalent or lower-ranking positions without competitive selection procedures within three working days. He said this would help speed up personnel decisions and eliminate management gaps.

The president separately stressed that all levels of government should function as a unified system. He said it is unacceptable for agencies to shift responsibility onto one another while citizens’ problems remain unresolved.

Following the meeting, Japarov instructed officials to strengthen the accountability of local leaders and ensure stricter control over the implementation of state policy in the regions.
